Athletic Endeavours is pleased to announce our annual cycling-focused training camps for 2026. AE camps are designed to meet the training needs of all levels of cyclists, including those who are also runners and swimmers. Cyclists of any age and level of experience are invited to attend, anyone eager to start strong and finish fit this upcoming competitive racing season.
The secret to the effectiveness of Athletic Endeavours Cycling Training Camps is the depth of experience as a cycling coach and strength training expert Coach Andrew Tuovinen brings to these gatherings in beautiful Penticton, BC. With 31 years “behind the bars” as a NCCP and Cycling BC Coach, competitive cyclist, duathlete and triathlete, Andrew understands the coaching needs of cyclists and endurance athletes. Likewise, with decades as a certified Personal Trainer specializing in functional strength training, Andrew understands the strength training needs of athletes off-season and during the season. This combination of coach and strength training expert provides an opportunity for a deep dive into the training needs of each individual in each camp. When strength, power, form, technique, and efficiency aligned perfectly, a great season on the bike, or on the run, or in the water, is the expected outcome.
Athletic Endeavours Cycling Training Camps are scheduled and structured to match the season. In our Spring Cycling Camp the focus is on early season training with attention on putting in quality miles under the sharp eyes of a coach, building endurance, working on technique, overcoming bad habits in the saddle, pacing, and generally easing cyclists into training after a long cold lonely winter. We also focus on developing anaerobic power, expanding aerobic capacity, and overcoming technique impediments. It’s perfect for any cyclist looking for a boost before the Okanagan Gran Fondo. Next up, it’s Athletic Endeavours Cycling & Multi-sport Camp, now in its 12th season. This camp focuses on challenging and inspiring all cyclists – with added run and swim components – over 4 days in and around beautiful Penticton, all under the watchful eye of Coach Andrew.
The highlights below are activities, services and presentations that throughout the years have become adjuncts to most Athletic Endeavours Cycling Training Camps. Sure, you’re here to become a better cyclist, and that’s precisely why we include more than just cycling training at AE camps. We include introductions to supportive activities like flexibility and strength training, and we offer talks on optimizing nutrition for cyclists because we know that these contribute towards the goal of getting fitter and faster on the bike. Not all activities, services, and presentations are scheduled for every camp but we do try to pack in as much extra stuff possible over the 3-4 days of a typical Athletic Endeavours Cycling Training Camp.
